Paris, 1960. Jean-Louis lives a peaceful – yet boring – bourgeois existence with his wife (a perfect socialite), his children (in a boarding school) and his colleagues at work. The family has their world turned upside down when exuberant Spanish maids move into their building’s sixth floor, the servant’s quarters. Jean-Louis unexpectedly bonds with them, especially with Maria. She is young, pretty and full of joy. Jean-Louis’s life is about to change… a lot. French & Spanish spoken.
